checking where SunRa is I accidentally fell into the pit of hell where an aging David Brooks is given the last word on Jesse Jackson on what's left of PBS NewsHour

MAYOR MAMDANI:
"Albany's decisions shape what the city can do "

ZOHRANESE TRANSLATION:
"Do everything you can to pressure your state reps—esp. Gov Hochul—to tax the rich."

Action items:
1️⃣ Join an @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social canvass / phone bank

2️⃣ Support @delgadoforny.bsky.social in the primary.

@ilhanmn.bsky.social is a contribution to your reelection campaign the best way to support your work and needs for added security?

Three questions for Grace Meng (NY-06), from challenger
@chuckforqueens.bsky.social:

1️⃣ Will you publicly retract your support for ICE?
2️⃣ Will you join the next peaceful action against ICE?
3️⃣ Will you call to abolish ICE?

Considering how many have called for raising taxes for the rich, this framing ("if Mamdani gets his way") seems designed just to make him look like a big, bad Socialist mastermind.

Nope, he's just trying to fulfill the will of the people.

Woodhaven (Queens) folk: Sunday is the campaign kickoff event in Woodhaven for DSA-endorsed candidate for NYS Assembly District 38 David Orkin. Don't miss it! Now is our chance! More info in comments secure.actblue.com/donate/dwq-l...

Southeast Queens is too often neglected by the Left, but change is coming here too—through Oster Bryan.

I've known Oster since 2017. For decades, he's been rooted in principled Leftist + Black liberationist struggle.

Friends, please join me in becoming a Day-1 supporter of @osterforus.bsky.social.

I saw that @socialists.nyc is considering endorsing David Orkin, formerly of CUNY Clear and a lawyer at Make the Road, for District 38 NYS Assembly. I live in this district and a challenger is sorely needed to un-elect one of the most useless elected officials in American history

@votejgr.bsky.social is WFP's first state senate primary endorsement for 2026.

SD-13 is a battleground between the Left and the neoliberal establishment. JGR is committed to co-governing with the organized Left.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

When is that casino coming? Only 3 years until the Juan Soto opt-out drama begins #SotoOptOut #CasinoSteve

independents rate him lowest 😂

I’d say the space was already full but agree

Mets fans should listen to Joe Benigno, what he has to say about the sketchy owner of the #Mets. Everyone else already knows all this..starts at hour 2, so 4pm. www.audacy.com/stations/wfa...

It’s public employee compliance training season but this year the scene and the script are different

So true. I'd just add: the ascent in influence—from the lowest rung on the proverbial ladder of engagement to the many of the most powerful organizational roles in the city—is much flatter than many tend to assume. But the catch, and the key, is to engage consistently and as part of an organization.

CUNY Vice Chancellor Jeff Rodus goes out with a bang YouTube video by J Kuszai

I don't know retiring CUNY Vice Chancellor Jeff Rodus, but I much appreciate what he says to NYC Council Higher Ed Committee Chair Eric Dinowitz about paid internships and faculty sovereignty over curriculum. Happy Thanksgiving to VC Rodus and happy retirement, too! youtu.be/phPRRv8B9y4

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

uh oh

I don't know but where I come from, if you act alone you are not a leftist, regardless of what you believe.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

This is an insane person.
